We write a lot about Lego here at Giz. A lot. But it’s with some regret that I confess that despite the amount of Lego coverage on the site, I haven’t actually put together a Lego kit myself – or even just messed around with the building blocks – for well over a decade. It’s sad isn’t it? Well that’s all going to end tonight, because Lego has sent me one of their new Lego Technics kits to play around with.The dilemma I’m facing though is whether or not to build the Quad Bike or the Dune Buggy. You see, the kit has enough pieces, plus designs, to build either, all from the same box. So, what I want to know from you guys is: Which one should I build? Quad Bike or Dune Buggy?

Whatever one you choose, please post an article on your Lego adventures – I also haven’t played with Lego for 15 years or more and I’m curious about whether lego Technics represents an interesting challenge once you reach adulthood.

This Technics stuff looks interesting. I haven’t played with lego in 15yrs easy but my issue was always one of scale, minifigs could never fit with the scale of the creations I came up with. RE: Your poll, screw the instructions and see what you can come up with.

doesn’t matter which one you build first. You know that within the week you will have pulled it apart and built the other.

I bought myself a technics lego kit last xmas, just to re-live that feeling from 15+ years ago. I still got the same buzz, it was awesome! i’m 30 :D

Go for the quad bike, it’s more hands on, meaning that it will look a bit more responsible if you are caught playing with it compared to the dune buggy
